Fentanyl awareness and overdose prevention programs for youth in schools.

This Act aims to protect children and teens from the threat of synthetic opioids like fentanyl by establishing education and prevention programs in public schools. Citizens can expect schools to receive funding for staff training, educational materials for students and families, and access to naloxone (an overdose reversal drug) in school-based health centers. New data collection methods regarding opioid access in schools will also be implemented to better inform prevention strategies.
